rebirth of evil

Mo Fan's horse farm is adjacent to a small town in the south of Luoxing. In just three years, the town's formerly dark and low bungalows have turned into a bustling resort, full of foreigners from all over the place.As the host, Mo Fan was in charge of Zhang Xiyuan's food, drink, housing and transportation. Now that Huo Jin and his party are here, of course he has to entertain.

Because Zhang Xiyuan's idiot forgot to say where the end point was, the five of them crossed half of the bridge-shaped road at the speed of a racing car, and finally fell to the ground exhausted.

Mo Fan directly asked someone to drive over to take him to the destination.

What he didn't expect was that there was a small accident just as he got out of the car.

"Young Master Mo," the person in charge of the racecourse restaurant greeted Mo Fan as soon as he saw him. He looked very anxious and his forehead was covered with sweat: "There is a boy who picked all our chefs!"

Mo Fan was a little surprised.He loves food, and the horse farm has been his main base for the past few years. He has used his tricky tongue to make things difficult for him for a long time. The chefs here are more or less better than other places.There is a written rule in his restaurant: foreign chefs can challenge the chefs here, and if they can win with their culinary skills, they will get a high bonus, and they can be hired as a special chef of "Huaxia Cuisine". There are also great opportunities to study abroad.

Can make all the chefs here admit defeat, it can be seen that this guy is really good.Mo Fan asked: "Then give him the bonus according to the highest reward standard. If possible, try to keep him."

The person in charge of the restaurant sweated more urgently: "He doesn't want a bonus, and he doesn't want to be hired."

"Then why does he want to take part in the challenge?"

"He said...he wants to find the pinnacle of culinary skills." The person in charge of the restaurant was embarrassed to say this.

He is old enough to understand the so-called pursuit at all. In fact, even the group of challenge-loving chefs raised by Mo Fan doesn’t make sense to him—it stands to reason that no one would like his position at any time. They were threatened, but they were more excited than anyone else when they heard someone came to the door.

As a manager, he feels relieved but also a little confused, because his life is always busy with all restaurant-related affairs, and compared with them, he always seems to be missing something.

The person in charge of the restaurant suddenly slapped his head, how can there be anything missing, he clearly forgot the business!He said: "By the way, he hasn't left yet, because he heard someone say that your tongue is very good, so he is waiting for you in the restaurant now."

Mo Fan was very interested in this young man who came to challenge him.However, both Huo Jin and Zhang Xiyuan were still there, so he couldn't leave the stage, so he had to say: "You keep him first, just say that I will go find him."

Huo Jin suggested: "Is he still in your restaurant? I'm hungry too, why don't we go there together now."

Zhang Xiyuan and the others were more physically exhausted, and they all nodded.The restaurant is not far from the place where Mo Fan prepared, and several elders and young masters walked there with hard work on their legs.

Mo Fan soon saw the young man who came to challenge him.

It was meal time right now, and the kitchen behind the transparent glass window was already extremely busy, so the boy moved a chair and squatted outside to watch the busy chef inside.The youth's attire was a bit strange, like the costumes of the transition period from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. His hair was very long, but it was neatly braided. He carried a cloth bag on his back, and he could vaguely see the outline of the set of knives inside.

Zhang Xiyuan was surprised: "This... this is the wrong set!"

The young man seemed to have noticed their arrival. He saw that the person in charge of Mo Fan and the others was the person in charge of the restaurant. He threw his braids back and stared at them with shiny black eyes: "My name is Xiang Ping, you guys Who is that person with a sharp tongue?"

The person in charge of the restaurant looked at Mo Fan.

Although the boy was dressed a little differently from ordinary people, his mind was normal. When he saw the eyes of the person in charge of the restaurant, he knew that Mo Fan was the master.He said "Oh" and said: "They are very convinced of you, you must be better than them. I heard that you are the owner of the restaurant, why didn't you let them cook their favorite dishes? Always let others take the order, It’s just those few dishes that come and go, so I can’t improve.”

"You are right. But this is a restaurant. To put a dish on the menu, you need to consider the cost, the season, and the acceptance of the guests." It can be seen that the young man in front of him really likes cooking, Mo Fan Laughs: "It's not hard to cook a lot of variety, but that doesn't suit here. My grandpa said it to me before, 'A good cook shouldn't be fussy and take care of even the simplest dishes ', although they are repeating the same dishes now, each time they use the knife, grasp the taste, and cook differently. As long as they can grasp every subtle change, it will definitely help them make more complicated dishes in the future .”

Xiang Pingan was a little confused by what he said: "Is that so?"

Zhang Xiyuan put one hand on Mo Fan's shoulder: "Of course, don't you look at who Mo Fan is in our family? Can what he said be true?"

Xiang Ping ignored Zhang Xiyuan and turned to Mo Fan, "Will you be here often?"

Mo Fan said: "I have some things to do during this time, so I shouldn't come here often."

Xiang Ping said "Oh" again, and then asked, "Where do you live? I'll go find you. I heard that you have a good tongue. I want you to try my cooking for me."

If it weren't for seeing Xiang Ping's dedication to cooking and nothing else, Huo Jin would definitely drive this lifeless guy as far as he can.However, it was rare for Mo Fan to meet someone who was interested, and this kid was obviously a "cooking idiot", so Huo Jin didn't stop him.In fact, he proposed to come together to "inspect the enemy's situation", and the "alert" was successfully lifted the moment he saw Xiang Ping'an.

Well, no threat.

Huo Jin doesn't care about people who have no "threat".He had already shown the illusion of a clear distinction, and took Liang Kai and the four of them to sit down, order food, drink tea and chat.

Zhang Xiyuan originally looked at Huo Jin subconsciously, wondering if he would give anyone who tried to get close to Mo Fan a blow as he did before.Who knows that people are so peaceful, he slapped himself hard in the heart, making you think about it!People don't care anymore.

Although he felt that it was right for them to separate, Zhang Xiyuan felt a little uncomfortable seeing that the two people who had been so good were really strangers.Even if they confront each other like they do in an academic conference, it's better than being calm like this.

Of course, Mo Fan didn't know what Zhang Xiyuan was thinking. At this time, his attention was still on Xiaopingan: "I can't just give my address to others. How about this? You can do it in the kitchen of the restaurant. What do you think you want the most?" The dish I tasted, I will wait for you here. If you think it is useful, you can come to me again in the future."

Nod seriously to Ping An.He ran into the kitchen and said a few words to the chefs who had conceded to him, and then spontaneously went to pick ingredients from the pile of vegetables.

Mo Fan and the others were sitting outside the glass window of the kitchen, and they could clearly see everything inside.The boy bit his long braid and washed the selected meat, vegetables, and seasonings one by one, and then neatly pulled out a row of knives wrapped in cloth behind him. Only then did Mo Fan realize that the sheaths of those knives were actually hemp made of rope.

Look at this posture, it really looks like a hidden celebrity chef.

Pick up the knife from Ping An and concentrate on handling the ingredients.From the moment the knife came out, his hand suddenly turned the knife around like a movie fast-forwarded dozens of times—quick and exciting.

Originally, only Mo Fan and Zhang Xiyuan were watching, but at this moment, the eyes of the entire restaurant were almost attracted!Because the restaurant adopts a transparent operation, Xiang Ping's amazing knife skills can be clearly seen from the outside.

Because the "International Food Festival" is held here, many tourists from Europe and the United States have arrived one after another, some want to get familiar with the venue, and some simply want to have fun.Originally, they were already attracted by this small town as the "meeting venue", and now they couldn't help but marvel: "Hua Guo Kung Fu!"

Mo Fan was silent.He has indeed dealt with cooking for "two lifetimes". Grandpa was also a well-known veteran chef before, but he really can't compare with Xiang Pingan.But in fact, he was just playing as an amateur, and he had no idea of ​​"reaching the pinnacle of culinary skills", so he calmed down soon.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move!No wonder the chefs are convinced by him.

Taking a look at the hot pot, Mo Fan found that he was going to use steaming, frying, braising, and roasting. The processed ingredients were turned on the tip of the knife, and they were divided into four parts and dropped into four porcelain plates. .

As soon as Xiang Pingan entered the state, the person next to him seemed to naturally become an apprentice, and the whole kitchen revolved around him.The gazes of outsiders didn't make Xiang Ping pay even a single ounce of attention. He had long been concentrating on the food, as if it was his whole world.

Like all the chefs here, Mo Fan didn't want to miss any of Xiang Ping's actions.

Simultaneously performing four cooking methods is not cramped at Xiang Pingan's place, and he can also carve side dishes into various exquisite appearances with his hands free.

Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Xuanwu represent the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively.

In the hands of this young man, cooking is no longer a skill, but an art!Mo Fan completely believed Xiang Ping's words of "finding the peak".

Zhang Xiyuan immediately used another brain: "If he can be included in our "Restaurant", it will definitely increase the ratings to a higher level."

Mo Fan didn't want such a young man to get involved in the entertainment circle, he frowned and said, "He might not want to."

Zhang Xiyuan raised his brows: "Brother, who am I? I discussed with Shi Yuying and set up a challenger session for him. He must be very happy with his pursuit of cooking skills. It will happen! Look at him this time." Didn't you just join your challenge?"

Hearing what Zhang Xiyuan said, Mo Fan no longer objected.First of all, he can trust Zhang Xiyuan’s character, he usually has principles, and he won’t force others if they don’t want to play with him; Xiang Ping’an seems to be really persistent, instead of letting him find someone to “compete with” ", it is better to arrange it directly as Zhang Xiyuan said.And whether to agree or not depends on Ping An's own wishes, and Mo Fan has no way to decide for him.

But having already seen it, Mo Fan couldn't help but ask a few words: "If he really agrees, you have to watch him a little bit, and don't let him suffer."

Zhang Xiyuan has nothing to do with Mo Fan: "You said the same thing when Yin Shiyang came, and you said the same thing when An Jiajia came, can you stop worrying so much? The reputation of Far East Entertainment is well-known in the circle. When was there a scandal? There is absolutely no problem inside the Far East, but whoever dares to touch our Far East Entertainment people outside, isn’t it too courageous?”

Mo Fan also knew that he was worrying blindly.There was a reason why he asked Zhang Xiyuan to take care of Yin Shiyang and An Jiajia. In that "future", both Yin Shiyang and An Jiajia did not go well in the entertainment industry. Yin Shiyang fell into a vegetable while playing a supporting role, and An Jia Jia was banned for being involved in a scandal.The experience of the two people was embarrassing, so when he heard that Zhang Xiyuan had recruited Yin Shiyang and An Jiajia to Far East Entertainment, Mo Fan mentioned a few words to Zhang Xiyuan.

Facts have proven over the years that Far East Entertainment, with Zhang Xiyuan in charge, can be said to be the cleanest place in the industry.

Mo Fan raised his teacup: "I shouldn't doubt Brother Yuan's character, and punish myself with tea instead of wine."

Zhang Xiyuan snorted twice: "That's about the same."

The two chatted one sentence at a time, and Xiang Pingan had already brought out the dishes.

"The first dish is steamed, mainly fresh, add a small amount of ginger and garlic, to remove the spring cold, and protect the stomach; Braised, mainly sweet and fresh, add a small amount of molasses, remove autumn dryness, and nourish the stomach; the fourth dish uses broiled, mainly spicy and fresh, add a small amount of spices, remove winter tiredness, and liven the stomach." Xiang Pingan said: "Together they are called four seasons. Stew is the basic dish of our family."
